Dear all,
I am writing to let you know that I have just released a new Labs Tool
etytree
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/etytree/etymology/resources/html/index.html>
http://tools.wmflabs.org/etytree/etymology/resources/html/index.html
to visualize etymologies. This work was part of and IEG project.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…>
If
you have ideas on places where I could do dissemination, please let me know.
Also your feedback is welcome on the talk
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive…>
page of the project, if you like. Note that this is the first release! I
have written down some notes about how to make it easier to parse
Etymologies in the English Wiktionary with some ideas I have about new
templates, possibly here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive…
Your comments in there would be helpful too. Some additional notes follow:
1. In the future I would like to use the nicer demo
<http://www.epantaleo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/index.html> I made
a while ago. I could not because there were loops between words that could
not be fit in trees (in trees branches don't merge). Loops are conflicting
etymologies. Many are due to simple inconsistencies that users can easily
fix, others are real conflicting etymologies and should be represented
using multiple trees. I will work on this in a future release.
2. Etymology sections rarely link to words and their sense/pos,
generally only link to the lemma. This is a problem for homographs, because
they generally have different etymological trees which get mixed up in this
current implementation. See for example the discussion on the Etymology
Scriptorium
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Etymology_scriptorium/2017/Februa…>.
It would be nice to have more precise links in etymology sections that link
to the correct word.
3. I am not plotting all derived words as of now to clean up a bit the
visualization.
Looking forward to your comments!
